Such a glorious remembering, even the forgetting I can forgive as part of the dance!

I sometimes forget that
I was created for joy
My mind is too busy
My heart is too heavy
Heavy for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the sacred dance for life
I was created to smile
to love
to be lifted up
and lift others up
O sacred one
Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares
Free my soul
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious.
~ Hafiz

I love the remembering ❤
I love the freedom and the contagiousness of joy and dancing!

“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend." Henri Bergson

You must give birth to your images.
They are the future waiting to be born.
Fear not the strangeness you feel.
The future must enter you long before it happens.
Just wait for the birth,
for the hour of the new clarity.
~ Rainier Maria Rilke

Sweet dreams you beautiful people!

"Your sacred place is where you find yourself again and again.” Joseph Campbell

10/10/2024

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life. ~ John Lennon
Thank you! I love this reminder whenever I can get it !

I love this woman! I needed this!

Vandana Shiva: (in response to interviewer asking her how she has so much energy, “what keeps you so alive?”

“Well, it’s always a mystery because you don’t know why you get depleted or recharged, but this much I know. I do not allow myself to be overcome by hopelessness no matter how tough the situation. I believe that if you just do your little bit without thinking of the bigness of what you stand against, if you turn to the enlargement of your own capacities, just that in itself creates new potential.

I’ve learned from the Bhagavad Gita and other teachings of our culture to detach myself from the results of what I do, because these are not in my hands. The context is not in your control, but your commitment is yours to make. And you can make the deepest commitment with a total detachment about where it will take you. You want it to lead to a better world, and you shape your actions and take full responsibility for them, but then you have detachment. And that combination of deep passion and deep detachment allows me always to take on the next challenge b/c I don’t cripple myself. I don’t tie myself in knots. I function like a free being. I think getting that freedom is a social duty. And I think we owe it to each other not to burden each other with prescriptions and demands. I think what we owe each other is a celebration of life and to replace fear and hopelessness with fearlessness and joy.”

~ Shiva

“The word ‘crisis’ is of Greek origin, meaning a point of culmination and separation, an instant when change one way or another is impending.” He compares the crisis in an individual life to that of a society in disaster: “Life becomes like molten metal. It enters a state of flux from which it must reset upon a principle, a creed, or purpose. It is shaken perhaps violently out of rut and routine. Old customs crumble, and instability rules.” That is, disasters open up societies to change, accelerate change that was under way, or break the hold of whatever was preventing change.”
― Rebecca Solnit, A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster

I've started listening to this incredible book again because it's timely, even 10 years after it was published.

"Enlightenment is a group activity." ~ Charles Eisenstein, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible

"We must enlarge our approach to encompass the formation taking place before our eyes…of a particular biological entity such as has never existed on earth – the growth, outside and above the biosphere, of an added planetary layer, an envelope of thinking substance, to which, for the sake of convenience and symmetry, I have given the name of Noosphere.

The historic process is changing dramatically before our eyes…Mankind taken as a whole is becoming a powerful geological force. Humanity’s mind and work face the problem of reconstructing the biosphere in the interests of freely thinking mankind as a single entity. This new state of the world we are approaching without noticing it is the “Noosphere.”

~ Teilhard de Chardin, The Future of Man

"Just as the biosphere is the unified field of life and its support systems – the region for the transformation of cosmic energy on Earth – so the noosphere is the unified field of the mind, the psychic reflection of the biosphere. Because we as a species, the aggregate of consciousness-bearing cells of the evolving Earth, are not yet awake to our role as a planetary organism, so too the noosphere is not yet fully conscious. When humanity becomes conscious of itself as a single organism and unites to activate the noosphere, we will find the collective resolve and will to reconstruct the biosphere and divert the energy of the human race from a path of destruction based on a mechanized abstraction from nature to a new harmonic order of super-organic reality based on an entirely different state of consciousness than has yet existed on Earth."
~ Jose Arguelles, Manifesto for the Noosphere

“Like the most refined or alchemical distillate, or some primary source code, the architecture of true human connection somehow includes yet transcends the personal; interdependence is at once deeply intimate and utterly universal. Pure, moments of relating reach us at the root, touching, who we truly are, while simultaneously elevating what is possible for us to become. The sacred geometry of active interrelation is both a portal to everything we have ever been, individually, and ancestrally, and a gateway to the greater future potential of our species. To Colocate this future experientially is a sacred act of communion and a natural rite of ‘symbiotic unity’.

These things should not be taken as Pollyanna –-ish ideals. To arrive even at the furthest glimmer of the distant edge of our becoming, we have crossed and historic dark night. We have come face-to-face with the abyss, and in it, we must now reckon with the possibility of our own extinction. To survive, much less to flourish, we must make Conscious our essential interdependence and awaken into new forms of vibrant, sustained relation.

I have taken on a vocation around spiritual practice, dedicating my life and work to what I call the inner science of consciousness. The territory of consciousness can be explored and understood through practices, like meditation, study, prayer, movement, stillness, and through contemplation of self and nature – – as well as in contemplation of the relational dynamics that exist between ourselves and others, in the ordinary course of modern life.

~ Thomas Hubl, Attuned: practicing interdependence to heal our trauma – and the world

What kind of presence are you beaming out into the world? Do you have enough humility to know when you don't know and you don't have this kind of 'authority'? It's good to be humble when it's the truth, and to speak your truth when it can serve

In communion ❤

Inspired by the writings of Chris Bache and the words of Elisabet Sahtouris and my ongoing experiences within and without. This deep intimacy with all of life. To feel myself embraced by a living pulsing Universe. Humbled and delighted and feeling the vibrancy of the silence.....the pulse of creation has a tempo, a rhythm, an energy.

"When you're in that communion flow, that deep space, you'll know what to do, your thinking mind won't have to work nearly as hard because it won't be there to judge and get mad and all those things. You've come to earth in a very, very challenging time. You wouldn't be here if you weren't up for it, so get into that communion space with each other, with yourself and with those people who have departed the planet that you love. We can do this but only in that space of oneness.” ~ Elisabet Sahtouris

Saturn, Neptune and Chiron are already retrograde; on September 1st Uranus slows to turn retrograde as Pluto retrograde re-activates the Master degree of Capricorn. On the 2nd, the Virgo New Moon opposes Saturn in Pisces and squares Jupiter in Gemini. On the 4th, Mars returns to Cancer for the first time in two years. Mercury remains in his retrograde shadow until September 11th.

Frame it as a Standstill or In-Between

Sometimes standing still is both the right action and the right place

What’s strange and challenging for many is that this pause/ standstill/ ecotone can happen even amidst turbulent energies or when things personal or global are in deconstruction mode.

We’ve been conditioned to view perpetual action and unending momentum as good; and stillness, standstill, or in-between as being bad, when neither is the case.

It’s simply a phase, a passage, a pause by the wayside…and a potentially rich and fertile one in the two weeks before the lunar eclipse.

As the energy turns inwards at the Virgo New Moon, mirror it:

feel the stasis

drop struggling, striving, seeking, and searching

stop trying to control the uncontrollable.

stay in your own lane

make restoring your energy levels a priority

unblock the river of your personal ecology

audit and strengthen your resource base-your money, networks, support systems, skills and how you invest your time.

~ Lorna Bevan, Hare in the Moon Astrology

How wonderful. It feels like the Day out of Time which I love, or when I go swimming in the ocean, or really a cold plunge and swim, at slack tide, when the ocean is neither moving in or out and you can float and breathe with the planet....it's so palpable. Floating on my back, stillness with all life

"The capacity to slow down enough, to suspend our assumptions of what we think we know, and to listen to that which is emerging. That which is new. This is a Collective capacity that will be needed now more than ever. There are a set of capacities, that we must develop together, as we move into the future, to be able to be resilient, to navigate with wise sense-making, to tap into the truth, intelligence of life, and to be discerning with regard to deep ethical questions. What an exciting time to be alive."
~ From "Setting the Field" by Joseph Jaworski & Peter Senge

Can you feel awe and wonder at the tiniest of things? So the ordinary becomes extraordinary and our bodies are infused with more light as we open ourselves up to receive the miracle of life in every moment. Awe is our natural state of being when we remove the filters and the armor that keeps us from being pe*****ted by the Divine.

It is our innate blueprint. This is our true nature!

Basking in wonder

"There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe.” Teilhard de Chardin

I feel like I live inside this and it's all happening NOW!

I've been here in Ashland for a week, working and cocreating with some incredible people on all the things that make my heart sing, and oh the stars....I have missed having this kind of clear skies without light pollution. Living near Seattle, even on the island, it's still blocks the stars. Something about really getting how many stars there are out there and the patterns and sacred geometry that is everywhere and always moving and energies revealing themselves, that allows me to relax into sheer wonder and awe! Oh the cosmos, oh this home here on this planet spiralling around the universe so fast we can't even understand what's happening but we can feel the blessing inside our bodies. We are mini temples of the cosmic temple that is our home. AWE....the Tao that can be named is not the perfect Tao. Wonder, gratitude, humility, delight, surrender, joy! Allowing these feelings to become light and pe*****te my whole body!

Here’s to activating our collective grand will!

"We believe that behavior throughout large organizations is influenced by subtle fields of thought and emotion, and that these fields are susceptible to change -- indeed, they are continually unfolding. We believe the awareness of such emerging fields lies at the heart of all true leadership. Reality is not fixed but continually in flux.

True leadership is the art of working with emerging fields to bring forth new realities.

Though radical in contrast to many contemporary prescriptions for leadership behavior, this view of leadership is not new.
Seventy five years ago, philosopher Martin Buber said, "What is to come will come only when we decide what we are able to will."
Buber went on to make a subtle distinction between two sources of will: our "unfree will that is controlled by things and instincts" and our "grand will." Human beings cultivate this grand will over their lifetime through developing the capacity -- as Buber put it, "to listen to what is emerging....to the course of being in the world."

Setting the Field, Joseph Jaworski, Peter Senge

The capacity to slow down enough, to suspend our assumptions of what we think we know, and to listen to that which is emerging. That which is new. This is a Collective capacity that will be needed now more than ever. There are a set of capacities, that we must develop together, as we move into the future, to be able to be resilient, to navigate with wise sense, making, to tap into the truth, intelligence of life, and to be discerning with regard to deep ethical question. What an exciting time to be alive.

Imagine the transition to a world in which our Earth’s ecology is revered as sacred and all of Nature’s gifts, including our own, are shared for the personal, social and ecological benefit and well-being of all life.

“The transition to sacred economy is part of a larger shift in our ways of thinking, relating, and being. Economic logic alone is not enough to sustain it. Many economic visionaries have devised mathematically persuasive revolutions in money and property, but of the handful that ever came to fruition, none survived the test of time….. As we heal the spirit-matter rupture, we discover that economics and spirituality are inseparable. On the personal level, economics is about how to give our gifts and meet our needs. It is about who we are in relation to the world. By changing our everyday economic thinking and practices, we not only prepare ourselves for the great changes ahead; we also set the stage for their emergence. By living the concepts of sacred economics, we ease its acceptance by all and welcome it into the world.” ~ Charles Eisenstein

Again I invite you to imagine and hold the shared dream of the highest vision!

We are vision keepers and we are frequency holders and we are seeds and oracles for the new currency where we establish Love Embassies and Peace Academies across the globe and we resurrect the deep knowing of the ancient and modern mystery schools, and we create new cities of the future where evolutionary intelligences operate seemlessly and where temples and new kind of churches create sacred space for accessing our higher knowing together and to have compassion for our humanity and to celebrate the incarnation of our divinity!
What’s your greatest hearts desire? Coded in that desire is the blueprint of your evolutionary potential!

Calling in the new social functions that serve each persons and the whole’s greatest potential coming forth and we do the synergy dance of creation!

Non linear jumps are natural and welcome! We live in the jump time! Our shared vision and values that serve win win win are a power and untapped solar resource! Our love and our imagination is waiting to be harnessed for the birthing of a thriving world!

“Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.”
- Pierre de Chardin

Remembering deeper and deeper, personally and collectively!

The basis of Kalachakra Ta**ra is the notion of an enlightened society. Vidyadhara said that Maitreya, the future Buddha, would not be an individual, but a society.

Thich Nhat Hanh did a calligraphy that says in English: THE NEXT BUDDHA WILL BE A SANGHA.

Sri Aurobindo said that, “In the actual state of humanity, it is the individual who must climb to this height as a pioneer and precursor. But if a collectivity or group could be formed of those who had reached the supramental perfection, there indeed some divine creation could take shape; a new earth could descend that would be a new heaven, a world of supramental light could be created here amidst the receding darkness of this terrestrial ignorance.”

To this I am devoted - an enlightened society where everything is created to heal and inspire and uplift people into their genius and to work as a seamless whole with our divine uniqueness shining through. We know this is our destiny and now what is in the way? Whatever is in the way is the way. The path of conscious evolution.

How are we doing everyone?

Please pay attention to the gap between what we say and what we do because therein lies the opportunity. If we continue to be in denial about the gap, we can't move in this direction toward the divine creation ... authentically BE the change you say you are in the world. You can't hide anymore or get away with less than who you are anymore. Those ways of being are no longer part of the Social DNA. Time to truth and transparency and honesty and LOVE ❤

How are we using our attention? More precious than our time.

Simone Weil frames it as—“attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”

And in truth, breaking down relational care to its essence, the deepest medicine we are all needing is simply attention. As a local community elder, Laurence Cole says—“attention is the healer.”

One of the best quotes about the Black Sheep in families. YES I am a black sheep with gorgeous streaks of colors and white. By Bert Hellinger, who is a family constellation practitioner! Be proud of being a Black Sheep friends, if that is who you are. You are the dream of your ancestors!

"The so-called black sheep of the family are, in fact, hunters born of paths of liberation into the family tree.

The members of a tree who do not conform to the norms or traditions of the family system, those who since childhood have constantly sought to revolutionise beliefs, going against the paths marked by family traditions, those criticised, judged and even rejected, these are usually called to free the tree of repetitive stories that frustrate entire generations.

The black sheep, those who do not adapt, those who cry rebelliously, play a basic role within each family system, they repair, pick up and create new and unfold branches in the family tree.

Thanks to these members, our trees renew their roots. Its rebellion is fertile soil, its madness is water that nourishes, its stubbornness is new air, its passion is fire that re-ignites the light of the heart of the ancestors.

Uncountable repressed desires, unfulfilled dreams, the frustrated talents of our ancestors are manifested in the rebelliousness of these black sheep seeking fulfilment. The genealogical tree, by inertia will want to continue to maintain the castrating and toxic course of its trunk, which makes the task of our sheep a difficult and conflicting work.

However, who would bring new flowers to our tree if it were not for them? Who would create new branches? Without them, the unfulfilled dreams of those who support the tree generations ago would die buried beneath their own roots.

Let no one cause you to doubt, take care of your rarity as the most precious flower of your tree.

You are the dream of all your ancestors.

- Bert Hellinger
